15/18mm Friendly, not too big table, uncomplicated Napoleonic Rules

Dark Ages slogs in my experience are never that exciting, unless they are really small scale heroic almost RPG. It's why I reckon you need the campaign background.

Yeah, the campaign background for Dux is excellent. We spent the whole of the first campaign year just playing the raids as Jamie hasn’t achieved enough fame yet to force a pitched battle

I like SAGA (version 2.0) for the same reason, but like you have never been into Dark Ages "big battles".

What? Even after screeching his now famous Ayton battle cry at the enemy?

[Jeremy]

Nope! Not for lack of trying

Zenbadger, if you liked the DBN rules, have you considered using the 60mm base frontage size with 15/18mm figures, at 12 to a base, to give you the look you're looking for. More cavalry figures too, probably 5-6. And so on.

[Ilkley Old School]

My old 15/18mm are being, slowly, rebased on 60 by 40mm. I have gone for 18 figures in 3 ranks. Cavalry as Mr P suggests 5 or 6. Looks good.

[Zenbadger]

Partly the thinking behind going for 20mm frontage basing was to allow me to use DBN, LaSalle and Black Powder by putting various numbers of bases together.

[Shahbahraz]

Unnecessarily fiddly I would have thought. My more recent basing has all been predicated on me doing both sides, so if I decide I want to play DBN on 60mm frontage with 6mm - that's how it is going to be.
